Description

from Polynesian Cultural Center

Choose from a variety of packages and get set to see why the Polynesian Cultural Center is Hawaii's #1 Paid Attraction. Explore and experience eight island villages and exhibits representing the Islands of Aotearoa New Zealand, Fiji, Hawaii, Samoa, Marquesas, Rapa Nui, Tonga, and Tahiti.

Learn firsthand from the native peoples of each island with interactive demonstrations that teach you the games, fun, and friendship of Polynesia. Get a temporary tattoo, catch a fish or learn to dance one of the exciting hip shaking dances of Tahiti. See an active Polynesian voyaging canoe up close and learn how to make fire. Plus, enjoy the exciting Rainbows of Paradise canoe pageant showcasing the songs and dances of each island culture on the Center’s winding lagoon.

Give your feet a rest and take a relaxing tram tour through Laie town to see the surrounding community, then cap off your adventure in Hawaii’s only IMAX™ theater to learn about the importance of coral reefs with a Coral Reef Adventure.

Discover for yourself why the Polynesian Cultural Center's Alii Luau has justifiably inherited the deeper meanings of Hawaiian hospitality and joy inherent in this ancient feast, and add this unforgettable experience to your Hawaiian vacation.

"Amazing Culture and Luau"

Reviewed March 17, 2020 NEW

I wasn't sure what to expect from here, but you walk from "island to island" or from area to area learning about different polynesian cultures and hearings songs, watching dances, or participating in cultural activities. The food at the Luau dinner was spectacular and the dancing during dinner was so fun to watch. I have a lot of food allergies and was worried, but they had so many safe options! The night-time show "Ha Breath of Life" was spectacular!

"Circle Island Ambassador Package"

Reviewed March 12, 2020 NEW

Our driver on the tour was not great. We drove around looking out the window while he told bad jokes. I was at the PCC 25 years ago and loved. it. This time it was a disappointment. Only had time to see 2 villages because all were closed while the canoe festival was running. We went 30-40 minutes early and there were no seats unless you purchased a more expensive package. We lost over an hour with nothing to do. The Luau food was good but didn't feel any different than dinner and show anywhere. The show "Ha" was excellent and the only thing worthwhile at the Center.

"Must see Breath of Life!! "

Reviewed March 09, 2020 NEW

"Our time at the PCC what is the best part of our entire trip to O’ahu. Not only was everyone we encountered friendly and engaging, but the Luau was extremely well organized and offered a wide variety of very good food. Additionally, the evening show, Breath of lLife was probably the most spectacular show we have seen. It was absolutely mesmerizing. With the amount of energy and effort put forth, we can’t believe they do that daily. Pure artists and exceptional performers. Beautiful culture. Thank you for the experience. "

"Take Your Time"

Reviewed March 09, 2020 NEW

Everyone was so warm and welcoming from start to finish. We arrived later than expected so were only able to visit five of the seven villages. The water parade was stunning due to all of the islands represented. The Ha Breath of Life show told a beautiful story of the circle of life. The fire part of the show was hilarious. The luau was my least favorite just because it felt rushed (one hour). In that time you wait for your table to be called to get your dinner all while the show is being performed. The way the tables were set up, I couldn't see the show anyway. There's so much to see. I wish I knew our tickets were good for three days. We went on the last day of our trip. We would have definitely gone back.
